Marriage, Not Dating Episode 4 Reacţii
I like the drama, but that Lead Actress’s character is an alcoholic. It’s like she has a drink in almost every scene! She just guzzles it down. I wish they wouldn’t make her character so dependent on drink. The drama would be interesting without that crutch.

Props for character building. There are two things that could break this show for me though. That's Jang Mi's drinking. During her date with Yeo Reum (which I'm sure doesn't "count" as a date in some weird Korean way since they're supposed to just be food friends), I was like "quit guzzling that freaking bottle!" Which lead me two my second problem which is the men in Marriage, Not Dating seem to only care about Jang Mi when she is caring for other men. It's very odd. I guess they see how sweet she is and want it all to themselves.
It seems like loud and free spirited girls in K-dramas have to drink. Why? You don't need alcohol to be that happy. Or whatever. This seems to be a trend with dramas, and I don't care for it.
That said I did like how Jang Mi was the only one to see Ki Tae's mother and sympathize. Since she's not in the family she can see outside of the mom's people management. She can see someone who works very hard and no one acknowledges it. Yet Jang Mi was still able to stand up to that mother and tell her that she expected her to work, but have no rights.
This episode also had a few other things that I liked addressed. First off the piggyback ride reversal! Ki Tae is a lot like his mother, and blustering to hide his real emotions. Jang Mi just leaving work has bothered me, she would lose her job. So her boss has a talk with her. Jang Mi also mentions that she worked late too when asked about cracking those nuts. Though Ki Tae's mom was quick to say her son's hands are precious because he's a surgeon. (I doubt that he protects his hands.) Jang MI didn't cave and even made a joke about him being a surgeon and not being able to do a good enough job with his hands! (In her own way she still stuck to her guns.)
Yeo Reum is a bigger mystery. He took money from Se Ah and she even seems like she's making him a spy. So his intentions towards Jang Mi are a bit shady. We see him as a happy guy, who clearly wants to become a chef. I hope as a character we get to see more. I also like that he waited for Jang Mi like he said he would and didn't try to hide it behind some manly façade.
I'm also confused about Jang Mi's friend. Hyun Hee clearly likes Hoon Dong. Yet she thinks, and tries to point, Hoon Dong and Jang Mi in the "right" direction. It's all odd. That whole plot line is a bit muddy. If she was a true friend she'd realize that Hoon Dong was so abusive that it broke something in Jang Mi and she's smart enough to never go there again.
Jang Mi also showed a little fang towards Ki Tae about the whole situation and his unhelpfulness. Go girl. He deserves more after using her parents situation against her to cover his family's issues.
Overall this drama is crazy fun, and funny. I think it could truly be something amazing if it keeps developing the characters more, and cutting back on Jang Mi's drinking.

A lot happened in this episode! We got to see some of the problems within Gi Tae's family! I like how we also got to see the softer side of Jang Mi's character and how she can sympathize with people who aren't even nice to her. I definitely think that Gi Tae is beginning to fall for Jang Mi so I can't wait to see where this goes in the next episode.

I'm curious as to what the situation between the Father and his affair is. Why is the mom okay with it? She doesn't seem to be someone who'd normally allow such a thing.

Ah! Many people have mentioned that today's episode was much better than yesterday's, and well I'm one person that believes just about all of the episodes are gonna give us little by little insight on our characters. Such as episode 3 where we see our leading guy loving to be alone while Jang Mi hates it, in episode 4, we're able to see a little bit of reason why he doesn't want marriage. In this episode Jang Mi see's something that she's surely not supposed too.
And ah last, we see that Ki Jae's family is further from perfect than what we actually thought! Every family has their issues and some may have secrets within the family, but Ki Jae and his family take it to a new level! In this episode, we find that Jang Mi truly has a caring personality, even toward those that don't treat her the best.
And we're finally starting to see a bit of a soft side from Ki Jae (not much) but progress from his character. The end of this episode gets Ki Jae just what he wants, but it leaves me to think he's starting to want something completely different, let's see how long he'll be in denial! Because we all know it's what our leading guy/girl always go through first!
Sadly we have another week of waiting!
